They cut their teeth on the Mississippi River, Ohio River and Tennessee River and the rest was history. We talk about their preference for catfishing in lakes or rivers and which one they prefer and why, and the brothers had much different opinions on this topic, including some amazing numbers for trophy fish on Wheeler Lake in Alabama.
